We stayed here during the Fringe Festival as there were limited accommodations. Check-in was smooth, it has laundry facilities, which was nice, but there was quite a lot of dirt and dust throughout the accommodation (floors, surfaces). I doubt I would stay again.

Overnight Stay

Breakfast great, bed comfy, no hot water at basin in the room but hot water in the shower room basins across the corridor. Nice stay for a stop over but I agree room walls very thin so noise can be an issue.

Good and affordable

Affordable stay. Incredibly good breakfast. The room was basic (but to be expected). No en-suite was definitely an issue and rooms, corridors, and shower rooms etc needed freshening up for sure. Not a bad stay in any way. Lovely grounds and good staff on hand to help.

Great value option

Good, basic accommodation for a very reasonable price, within easy walking distance of the city centre. A quiet campus, with safe and secure parking included made it a fantastic deal. The rooms are basic, and a little tired, but clean and comfortable enough and the included breakfast is a nice bonus.
